A strong person is a person who manages life well despite trials and difficulties. They bear up under the pressures and responsibilities of life and are a great source of comfort, counsel, encouragement, and strength for others going through trials. Strong people weren’t born strong, they became strong because they applied certain principles to their life whenever they felt weak and ready to quit on life.

1. Strong people pray a lot about whatever they are going through, asking for God’s strength. They ask a lot because they have learned this principle, “The more we ask the more we will receive.” God wants our time and He is willing to bless us for our time. Much prayer – much blessing, little prayer – little blessing, no prayer – no blessing.

2. Strong people have learned that grumbling or complaining about life and difficulties drains away strength, and joy from our soul very quickly, and then we will be wimps.

3. Strong people have learned that the most important area of our life to be strong in is our thought life. Don’t allow your mind to dwell on negative thinking patterns. Thinking negative thoughts makes you a negative person who is too busy feeling sorry for yourself to accomplish much that matters to God. Strong people have discovered that memorizing and meditating on scripture is a powerful way to control our thoughts.

4. Strong people rejoice always. They tell God thank you for everything. They worship well corporately and privately.

5. Strong people know that by themselves they will give up and won’t run the race to the finish line, so they fellowship with others and they encourage others knowing that the more they give the more they will receive.
